From DAVIDsTEA

What do you reach for when you need a little pick-me-up? Maybe you go for something sweet and satisfying. Or perhaps you prefer the feel-good glow of something super healthy. Lucky for you, this lemongrass-spiked white tea is the best of both worlds. It’s a uniquely fresh and delicate chai, filled with traditional warming spices from Ayurvedic medicine, like cinnamon, cloves, ginger and black pepper. Sweet, smooth and refreshing, this blend is revitalizing, comforting and tasty to boot.

At first taste, I wasn’t a huge fan of Chai on Life. I felt like in terms of DT teas that it was just a white tea version of Exotica. After a while though, this one does grow on you (and yes, it is different than Exotica). Maybe I just have Exotica on the brain (boy, does that sound bad)? Very nice, light cup of tea thanks to that white tea base. Would recommend for those wanting a chai but not wanting the heaviness of a black tea.

I tried Peaches & Cream this morning at work, but am going to write a detailed note on it later once I pay more attention to the cup lol. This review will be fast as well since I’ m at work.

The dry smell reminded me of something so familiar..I finally figured it out, Stormy Night! Yes, that cinnamon-coconut smell was in this one as well, I think it’s DT’s cinnamon that makes it unique and easy to pick out. I steeped for around 4 or 5 mins with 185 degree water (variable temp kettle at work :D ) and the steeped scent is also very cinnamony.

As for the flavor, there is quite a mix of things going on in here lol. Oh and to me, it brews up far too light to taste so darn spicy lol. This is a cinnamon heavy blend, I get the peppercorns in the aftertaste, and a bit of the pineapple in there as well. I think the ginger adds some heat to the peppercorns, but I’d like more ginger and less cinnamon lol. The coconut lends a slight creaminess overall and adds to it even tasting a bit like Stormy night lol, there must be a similar spice combo in that one.

Overall, this might be a bit too cinnamony for me to really like this chai, but it is still very drinkable and it is refreshing. I also like that it’s a lighter chai option without a black tea base, so if I need a spicy, warming tea fix, this one will do. I am going to let my mom try this one, I bet she will LOVE it haha. Happy to have tried, but currently I don’t think it’s in the restock list.

Out of all the chai type tea I’ve ever had, this on definitely tops all of them!

I love it because it’s not too intense in spice, and the flavors aren’t all over the place. It’s has a very calm and smooth flavor profile. It has a ton of different spices (cinnamon, pink peppercorn, ginger black pepper, cloves, cardamom) but they are all so smoothly blended together in the most perfect balance, that it is not as overwhelming as it may seem.

It’s a fantastic tea to sip by the fire, on those cold winter nights! I really recommend it!

Preparation

This one is a good one! There’s not much to say about it, except that I was expecting too much clove and no, it’s perfect :) I prefer to break the cardamom pod to infuse the seeds, the taste is more present and you know, I only had 3 pods of cardamom in my 25g bag. I added some of my own too, just because I like it :)

Preparation

I am a dedicated DAVIDsTEA buyer, so naturally I go at the beginning of every month (at least) to purchase the new tea of the month.

First of all, Im an avid chai lover! There hasn’t been a chai that I have come cross that I haven’t liked, until this one. When I look for a chai, something that is strip your clothes off strong, spicy and all over absolutely delicious. This chai is good for someone who is light at heart on the chai front. It does have a light spice/chai taste but you can definitely taste tang of the lemon and sweetness of ginger. I’ve only had it hot, both straight and with agave, and it did not make a difference to me.

I think it is rather expensive for something in my opinion that is mediocre. I leave it in my cupboard because it’s something my mom enjoys, but I definitely won’t restock (unless momma dearest would like me to).

Flavors: Lemon Zest

Preparation

This time I wasn’t paying attention to temperature or time. I think I brewed it too hot.
Some weird flavors came out. an almost fishy taste.
It was off putting.
It wasn’t bitter, but the flavors were not right. Something was off.
Still, I drank the whole cup.

Sadly this one smells better than the brewed tea tastes. The dry tea smells wonderful of pepper, lemongrass, ginger, cardamom and a bit of coconut.

After steeping it was a lovely pale yellow liquor. The tea is very light, in fact if it weren’t for the slightly astringent aftertaste I would have thought this was flavoured water. The main note is cinnamon, with a touch of ginger and that is about all that I can discern once the tea is brewed.

When cooled down completely I can taste the lemongrass a bit more but overall this tea is not impressive for me to buy a big tin. I’ll finish the 25g sampler I bought at the store and that’s about it.
